Well, you could use a dependency package if you wanted to do that. Package: ab Depends: a, b Package: cd Depends: c, d Package: otrs2 Depends: ab | cd > But this also would not solve the problem with the remote database server. > So what has your build script now done? > It was a stupid user, it installed postgres and mysql server, but > only the mysql DBD driver and then it decided to use postgres as > database backend. Would it be possible that the mysql DBD driver comes first in the recommends list (so APT prefers it), but that the debconf template defaults to postgres? > This is not a bug, which is solvable with the otrs packaging, only > if I would drop e.g. the support for postgres and then add Depends: > mysql-server, libdbd-mysql-perl > > You will find this "bug" (misshandling?) in many packages. Actually, I don't, that's why it's surprising. - Lucas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
